Table 1 Summary statistics of Aedes mariae phenotypic traits. Mean, standard error and sample size (n). L3-L4 is the development time computed from L3 to L4 larval instars; L4-P is the development time from L4 larval instar to pupal stage; P-Ad is the development time from pupal to adult stages; Total means the development time from L3 larval instar to adult stage.
